GO SEAHAWKS! 12TH MAN!

Quarterback Controversy
May 11, 2008 | 3:39PM | report this

CHICAGO BEARS: Rex Grossman vs. Kyle Orton-Grossman is a proven inconsistent starter, but has at least shown flashes of strong play ability. A former competitor, Brian Griese, has left for Tampa Bay again. On the other hand, Orton, a former 5th round pick, is pretty much an unknown. STARTER: Grossman

 

BUFFALO BILLS: Trent Edwards vs. J.P. Losman-This is pretty much a no-brainer. Edwards is a 3rd round pick. Losman a 1st. If you don’t follow up on football, you’d think Losman. But no, Edwards proved himself much better last season. I’m going with the Stanford product, like everyone else. STARTER: Edwards

 

CLEVELAND BROWNS: Derek Anderson vs. Brady Quinn-Even though Anderson was a Pro Bowler last year who passed for 29 TD’S & Quinn has barely played; it’s all QUINN in Cleveland. Still, Anderson is a proven starter and if I were Cleveland, I’d trade Brady unless Anderson falters. STARTER: Anderson

 

ARIZONA CARDINALS: Matt Leinart vs. Kurt Warner-After another excellent 2007 campaign from Warner which saw 3,417 pass yards and 27 TD’S, benching the disappointing Leinart wouldn’t help the situation. I believe starting Warner would gather a better record in 2008, but Leinart needs to play in order to improve. STARTER: Leinart

 

MIAMI DOLPHINS: John Beck vs. Chad Henne vs. Josh McCown-The journeyman McCown has shown he’s an inconsistent starter in his career. Many people believe Henne’s the man, and he may be, but I just don’t think starting him right away is the right decision. STARTER: Beck

 

ATLANTA FALCONS: Joey Harrington vs. Chris Redman vs. Matt Ryan-I think Ryan is Atlanta’s new franchise QB, but I would never recommend starting a rookie QB right away. Case goes here. I’d see Harrington start the first few games, then bring Ryan in later. Redman is a better reserve at this point in his career. STARTER: Harrington, then Ryan

 

SAN FRANCISCO 49ers: Shaun Hill vs. Alex Smith-Hill was impressive during his 3 starts last year winning two of the three games and throwing for a 68.4% completion rating. However, I still believe Smith could play like a 1st overall pick should under new offensive coordinator, Mike Martz. STARTER: Smith

 

NEW YORK JETS: Kellen Clemens vs. Chad Pennington-Pennington has had a number of good seasons in his career. However, injuries have hurt his overall play and capability. Clemens has been promising in his first two seasons as a former 2nd rounder. STARTER: Clemens

 

GREEN BAY PACKERS: Brian Brohm vs. Aaron Rodgers-Rodgers has been waiting his entire career to start, benching him again just wouldn’t be right. He has also played well in relief or mop-up duty in his first 3 years, especially the Dallas game last year. STARTER: Rodgers

 

BALTIMORE RAVENS: Kyle Boller vs. Joe Flacco-Flacco has similarities to Boller; large makeup, strong arm, mid-1st rounder, Ravens pick, now would that be good or bad? Boller is still trying to prove himself after being selected 18th overall several years back. This is definitely his last shot at the starting spot; I would bring in Flacco if Boller falters. STARTER: Boller, then maybe Flacco

 

MINNESOTA VIKINGS: John David Booty vs. Gus Frerotte vs. Tarvaris Jackson-As a late 2nd round pick in the 06’ Draft, I have always backed Jackson. Despite a rocky start to his career, I trust he can still play well. If Jackson isn’t solid, bring in Booty; Frerotte should play as a 3rd-string instead. STARTER: Jackson

I don't know why the hell the Bears didn't draft a QB? What the hell? Ditto for the Bills! And on the flip side, with the Dolphins/Packers both drafting QBs in the 2nd says something too. Great competition going on. I guess the most surprising one to me would be the Jets situation. Pennington was on the brink of being really good, I'm not sure what happened, injury prone.

yeah attitude pennington broke his rotator cusp is what i heard. its too hard to bounce back from that, hes still extremely accurate but cant throw very hard or far, and may never again...poor guy i still support him though

Well man, I'm glad u think Tar Tar Jackson can play well. Somebody has to. I'm giving Jackson 4 games and then he will show no improvement, possibly losing games for the Vikes like last year's fiasco in Detroit.

Sorry, I just don't see it with Tar Tar. Gus Frerotte will start and get the Vikes in the playoffs. Frerotte starts one more year in '09 and then it's all about Booty.

Don't forget Troy Smith. He's projected by many around here to be the starter.

I am a Falcon fan I think we have a better shot at winning with Redman starting than Harrington

Yeah I think Troy Smith will be the guy in Baltimore until Flaco learns the ropes. Smith was not great, but did not make many mistakes which is impressive for a rookie QB.

I would not give up on John Beck. I see this guy becoming the 'fins franchise QB. Hopefully with Long playing LT, and Ted Ginn's improvement he could have a solid year. I also saw he made great improvements in his mechanics this off season.

Jackson was a second round pick not a late first.

Not sure why anyone would say start Harrington in Atlanta. Harrington should not even be aloud to walk on a football field. He throws more interceptions to the opposing teams linemen then anybody. He has never been productive in his career. Should be Redman...DJ...Ryan

The Vikings are almost all set at QB. With the three backups they have all signed, they just need to go and get a starting quality QB.
